Jimin woke up entirely too early the next morning, groaning softly before looking at his phone which told him it was 8:00. He sighs and sits up, making peace with the fact that he's probably not going to be able to fall back asleep anytime soon. He knew his grandma was already up from the sweet smells of breakfast wafting up to his nose from the kitchen and smiles to himself. If his grandma could get up this early in the morning, so could he.

He slowly makes his way down the stairs, still a little sluggish and finds his grandmother in the kitchen, flipping a pancake. She looks up at him and smiles brightly. "You're up early! Are you finally taking in what I told you about getting up early, stretching your legs by going on a morning jog, and having a fruit smoothie afterwards to wake you up?" He laughs softly and shakes his head. "No ma'am, that was not the plan," She tsks and shakes her head, pouring him a cup of coffee, adding some creamer to it. "Here, this should wake you up a little. Breakfast will be ready soon enough. But, I expect to start seeing those exercise regimes," He nods sleepily, taking a slow sip of his coffee. He takes a few more sips before he feels a few bursts of energy surge into his body. It wasn't a lot, but it was enough.

As he slowly wakes up, he thinks back to the conversation that he and his grandmother had last night, specifically about his date and who he was on the date with.

"Jiminie, you know you can tell me anything, no matter what it is. Why didn't you tell me?"

"Well, I haven't exactly told anyone about it, except for my best friends. Not even mom and dad know. I..didn't want to be judged or shunned for it,"

"Sweetheart, now you know that would not have happened. We love you just as you are. Your sexuality changes nothing. You can love anybody in this world and it wouldn't change the fact that you are my grandson and their son. I feel that you should tell them, I'm not saying you have to do it today, but do it when you feel ready okay?"

"Yes ma'am, I understand..thank you.."

He softly hugs his grandmother for a few seconds before their conversation continues.

"So tell me about the date. How was it? And who was the guy you were seeing?"

"His name is Yoongi and we met at that coffee shop not too far from here, Sweet Brew Coffee?"

"Oh yes, I've seen that place,"

"He bought me a sandwich, some red velvet cookies, and a pumpkin spice latte. And you know that I love pumpkin spice. He paid for everything, insisted that he would because I shouldn't have to pay for anything if I'm on a date with him,"

"Sounds like a gentleman,"

"Yes, he was. After that he took me to see all these landmarks around Daegu. He also took me to his favorite park where he would write music. Then we went to a corner store where I got these sunglasses and this "I Love Daegu" keychain," He showed them to her and she smiled.

"I love this keychain, you should put it on your keys. Go on,"

"After that he took me to Panda Express for dinner and we just sat and talked..joked a little bit and got to know each other a little more. And then we came back here,"

"Sounds like you had a wonderful time out,"

"I did, it's been a long time since I have,"

"Do you already like him Jimin?"

Jimin paused after she asked him that. He didn't know exactly what to say. He did feel something when he was with Yoongi, but was it too early to say that he already had feelings for him?

"Jiminie.."

He sighs and looks up at her. "If I'm being honest, I don't know. I feel something there, like a connection to him. We had a really good time and I enjoyed myself thoroughly. But, I think it's too early to tell. I haven't known him for that long. It's only been nearly a week. Is that too early to say anything?" His grandmother softly touches his hand. "When you know that someone is the one for you, you just know Jiminie. If you don't know now, that's entirely okay. Feel this guy out, see if that connection that you feel is real. And if it is, your heart will tell you," Jimin nods and smiles. "Thank you for listening to me grandma," She softly pats his leg. "You can always talk to me Jiminie, i'm always here for you,"

Jimin smiles to himself as he finishes his coffee, happy that he didn't have to keep this secret any longer. He had never thought to tell his parents or his grandmother about his sexuality, for fear of not being understood. But now he realizes that he had nothing to be afraid of after all. His grandmother brings him his breakfast as he sets his empty mug down. He doesn't even get halfway through his first bite before his phone dings. He looks at the screen as two more messages pop up before opening the thread.

Jungkook🐰: are you alive?

Please don't tell me he killed you, do I need to call the police?

Answer me damn you! 😭

Jimin: Kookie..calm your ass down, I'm fine. You're interrupting my breakfast!

Jungkook🐰: well excuse me for thinking my best friend was potentially floating in a river somewhere!

You didn't text me when you got home, I thought I was going to see you on the news somewhere!

Jimin: thank you for worrying, but i'm fine. Tired, but i'm fine.

Plus, you have my location! Why didn't you look?! 🤣

Jungkook🐰: it didn't update until you decided to pick up your phone just now, I was worried you little weasel!

Anyway, how did it go 👀

Answer me this first, was he hot?

Jimin: Kookie oh my god he was so fucking hot! You don't understand! 😩

I would have let him do anything he wanted to me, I swear to you

If I had of disappeared, it's because I LET him take me 😮‍💨

Jungkook🐰: I'm jealous as fuck. I need to see what this man looks like.

Jimin: I could probably get a picture with him 😏

Jungkook🐰: if you send me a picture of you on this man's chest I'm going to scream.

Was he nice though? Being hot is one thing, attitude is another

Jimin: he was a gentleman. He paid for everything, took me on a tour and even took me to one of his spots where he likes writing music

Jungkook🐰: oh he's a music man? You need to get on that then, you know you love music too

He didn't take you to his place?-

Jimin: no he took me right back to my grandma's but get this- he lives two blocks away 👀

Jungkook🐰: 😱 that close?! Oh yeah, thats convenient as hell. Go get that dick

Jimin: lmao, weren't you just saying that it's only been a few days since I met him and that i should worry?

Jungkook🐰: well I mean you didn't die so I think it's worth pursuing!

Besides, you haven't had a love life or fun in so long! You deserve to have something! Put yourself out there, keep seeing him

Unless he actually turns out to be a creep, then run, but have fun Jimin. Seriously, I'm happy for you

Jimin: aww thanks, now, about you and Taehyung..

Jungkook🐰: sorry Jimin, you know how I am, busy bee 🐝

I have to go feed my chickens, you know they need food and stuff right?

Jimin: Jeon Jungkook, you don't own any chickens or have even been near one!!

Jungkook🐰: bye Jimin love youuuu 💕💕

Jimin laughs to himself as he sets his phone down and finishes his breakfast, placing his plate in the sink. His grandmother has migrated to the living room to continue her sweater, so Jimin heads back upstairs to take a quick shower. He thinks about what Jungkook said before deciding he wasn't going to face the music about his crush again. He was right and Jimin already knew that. He hadn't been having fun and his love life has been stagnant. Having fun seemed like one of the best things to do, and Yoongi already had this way of intriguing Jimin to no end. But was he the one? Would he be able to feel that like his grandmother said?

He steps out of the shower and sighs, hearing his grandmother talking to someone downstairs. She probably had over one of her friends from the nursing home. She had been thinking of going over there, getting on in age as she was, but she decided to stay as long as Jimin was visiting her so often. He gets dressed, puts on his glasses, and heads back downstairs to the living room. He expected to see his grandmother sitting there and talking to someone she knew, but the person he saw sitting on the couch made him nearly trip over an imaginary stool. Yoongi was sitting on the couch.

Yoongi. Yoongi was in his grandmother's house.

He looks up after laughing at something that his grandmother said and smiles. "Hey Jimin, your grandmother is lovely," His grandmother laughs and looks up at Jimin as well. "And he is a gentleman just like you said. He was just telling me his plans for you today and I already approve. I want you both to be safe and have fun okay?" Jimin could only nod, not having a single idea about the plans that were in store for him. "Yes ma'am," Yoongi rises from the couch and heads towards the door. "It was a pleasure meeting you ma'am," She smiles, her voice warm and endearing as she speaks. "And you as well. Take care of my Jiminie," Yoongi smiles and opens the door, letting Jimin walk out first as he waves to his grandmother before the door closes behind him.

"So, Jiminie, ready to go?" Jimin blushes hotly, looking down at the pavement. Yoongi chuckles and leads him over towards his car. Jimin raises his eyebrow a little. "Where was this car yesterday? Why didn't you bring it then?" Yoongi smiles and opens the passenger door for him. "Because we weren't going that far yesterday. Where we are going today is a little bit of a drive," Jimin eyes him narrowly and gets in slowly. "You're not kidnapping me are you?" Yoongi rolls his eyes and laughs before smirking down at him. "No, unless that's what you want?" He lets the question hang in the air as Jimin's blush returns, turning away from him as he buckles himself in, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of making him blush twice in less than two minutes.

Yoongi gets into the car and turns on the radio before driving off. Jimin looks over towards him. "If we're going farther than yesterday, then where exactly are we going?" Yoongi says nothing, keeping his mouth completely shut, only making Jimin more curious. "See this is why I think I'm being kidnapped, you aren't telling me anything," Yoongi laughs and gives him a quick look before looking back at the road. "Just relax Jimin, you'll know soon," Jimin pouts a little before allowing himself to get a little comfortable. He reaches and turns the air conditioner on and sighs as the cool air hits his face. With the air blowing like this, he could fall asleep within minutes. Without even realizing it, that was exactly what happened. He was completely out, his head softly leaning against the window, causing Yoongi to look over at him and smile.

After dreaming about Jungkook and Taehyung having turned into a bunny and an alien while he himself was a monkey, Jimin feels his shoulder softly being shaken. He mumbles, "No, get your alien hands away from me..," Yoongi chuckles and shakes him a little harder. "Jimin..," Jimin slowly opens his blurry eyes and rubs them before looking around. The car had completely stopped and they seemed to be parked at some sort of forest. He looks over at Yoongi, his voice a little cracky and hoarse from sleep. "So you're about to throw my body in the forest? I knew you were a serial killer," Yoongi looks at him innocently. "I would never. Besides, throwing you off a cliff sounds like more fun," Jimin's eyes grow before he reaches for the door handle, which is of course locked as Yoongi watches him, amused. "Instead of thinking I'm going to kill you, why don't you look up?" Jimin lets go of the handle and looks up, gasping a little at what he sees.

There were cable cars going by, strung out over the city, going from the foresty hill that they were on, around the border of a lake, past a good view of the mountains and looks to end near the beach off the coast. Jimin looks back towards Yoongi and smiles brightly. "I have never been in a cable car before, they always looked so fun," Yoongi returns his smile. "Well, today is your lucky day," They both get out of the car and are immediately ushered into a car after Yoongi pays. Once the ride starts, Jimin feels his stomach lurch forward from the force as he looks out the window at the view of the world below. "It's even better than I imagined. You can see everything so much clearer from up here," Yoongi nods and points at a statue in the distance. "That's the statue that I showed you yesterday. From here, it doesn't even look that big,"

Jimin pulls out his phone to get photos of the view as they round the corner towards the lake and the view of the mountains. "Nature has always been beautiful to me, this is something that I would love to come back and do again. Have you been up here a lot?" Yoongi shakes his head. "This specific one I've only been on once with my mother. I've only been on maybe two others, one that gave a view of just the city and another that was connected to an amusement park and leads up to a tower. I might take you on that one day," Jimin turns to look at him and smirks. "So you admit you're going to continue seeing me?" Yoongi looks at him, smirking back. "If that's what you want Jimin. I wasn't planning on letting you go so fast," Jimin doesn't let his blush hinder him this time and crosses his arms a little, his smirk unwavering. "Maybe I do, I like having a little bit of fun now and then," Yoongi then pulls Jimin towards him by his hips, causing Jimin to squeak, feeling the butterflies return to his stomach. Yoongi gently traces Jimin's jawline with his fingertip, causing a shiver to run up his spine. "Good, because I like having fun too,"

If the cable car hadn't stopped at the edge of the beach, Jimin might have let this man have him. Yoongi had this way of making Jimin want to do things that he shouldn't. And he has only been in his presence twice. This was not the feeling that his grandmother was talking about, but he knew that there was something there and maybe Yoongi felt it too.

He looks around and smiles as he climbs out of the cable car, the sea breeze hitting him, combating the hot air all around them. People were also getting out of their cable cars to get a view of the beach and a few pictures. Jimin lets himself walk into the sand a little bit, his shoes sinking into the ground from how soft the sand is. He sighs and takes it all in as Yoongi joins him, looking out across the beach. "We can catch the next cable car whenever you are ready to leave, but I do have to go to work soon," Jimin doesn't take his eyes off the beach waves as he answers. "Where do you work?" "The mall in the middle of town," Jimin snorts and looks up at him. "Please don't tell me you work at a Spencer's or something," Yoongi chokes a little and begins to laugh. "No, I work at Hollister. Just to keep my income up before I head back to college,"

Jimin takes out his phone to take pictures of the scenery before looking at Yoongi. "Photo?" Yoongi tilts his head to the side with a small smile on his lips. "Taking photos like we're a couple?" Jimin rolls his eyes and gives him an annoyed yet playful look. "Get over here before I take the cable car back by myself," He snickers and comes to Jimin, gently placing his hands on his waist, making the blush return to Jimin's cheeks. He places his head on his shoulder and softly whispers into his ear. "Might as well make it look like a couple photo right?" Jimin had the sudden urge to kiss him, but refrained only because that might satisfy this man too much. He guessed that Yoongi could already tell the effect that he was having on him, his recurring blush being a telltale sign. Kissing him would only boost his ego, but damn, did he want to.

He composed himself before angling his phone enough to see the both of them as well as the golden sand and crashing waves behind him, taking a few pictures to make sure at least one of them looked perfect. He then goes into his gallery and shows Yoongi the best one, the one that caught the sun in both of their eyes and caught, in his opinion, his best angle. Yoongi smiles at it, before looking back towards the cable cars, the next round to head back about to set off. "You should send me that, let's go before they leave," Jimin is reluctant, with the beach being so inviting and beautiful, but he follow's Yoongi back, hoping to return soon.

—————————

Yoongi drove Jimin back into the town center, mostly because Jimin wanted to do a little shopping and get something to eat before heading back to his grandmother's. He stopped near a few shops and smiled at Jimin. He had fun with Jimin, something that seemed to have been eluding him even in his past relationships. For once, he felt something, but he didn't know how to describe it or what it could be. He felt something with Jazmine, he had loved her, but being with Jimin was different from that somehow. Sure it had been a week now that he had been talking to Jimin and only two days since they've officially met, but there was something about him that intrigued him. And he was not stopping until he found out just what that was.

"I was wondering," he starts. "Would you like to come over tonight after I get home from work? I can't really cook like that, but we could order takeout and just watch a movie or something," Jimin smirks and looks him up and down. "Yoongi, are you trying to get into my pants? Because I have been curious about seeing your dick in person for quite some time now and-" Yoongi rolls his eyes before he can finish, causing Jimin to laugh. "I'm kidding, mostly. I would love to," Yoongi grins as Jimin carefully gets out of the car. "I can pick you up at your grandma's around..8?" Jimin closes the door and leans down to look at him through the window. "I can't wait. See you then," He gives Yoongi a soft wink before he drives away. He watches him go before turning towards the shops all around him and lets out a large sigh.

I should have kissed that man!, he screams at himself.

He looks around, having no clue what he wanted to eat, but knew he needed something for fear his stomach would start eating itself. His phone dings as he's looking around.

Unknown: Hey Jimin! This is Jazmine, the girl you met on the bus

Jimin had nearly forgotten about her with Yoongi having such a tight grip on his brain for the past two days. He adds her into his contacts before texting back.

Jimin: oh hey I remember you, what's up?

Jazmine: well, i'm in town looking for something to eat, I was wondering if you were around and wanted to come with?

Jimin: sure I'm down, I was actually looking for something as well. What are you in the mood for?

Jazmine: I was thinking maybe some ramen or a burger

Jimin: both sound delicious, how about a burger?

Jazmine: sure! I know a good food truck near May's Sewing, do you know where that is?

Jimin: nope but thats why I love maps! I should be there in the next 10 minutes?

Jazmine: great! See you there!
